CTNS has announced its strategic expansion into the North American and global battery markets through its subsidiary, CTNS US. CTNS US has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ASIc, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup based in the US. The collaboration aims to integrate ASIc's AI technology with CTNS's battery technology to advance in the North American battery and energy markets.


ASIc, a subsidiary of the US-based AI trading company J4, is located in Bellevue, Washington. J4 boasts a team of top computer engineers and chemists and has achieved high returns through its proprietary supercomputers and AI technologies. Phillip Jennings, the CEO of ASIc, is a successful entrepreneur with a track record of founding, investing in, and achieving multi-billion-dollar IPO exits in the US. Jennings has been keenly observing CTNS, noting its potential for success in the US market based on his past experience in leading Asian companies to significant achievements.


Under the MoU, CTNS plans to integrate J4’s Stochastic AI technology into its Battery Management System (BMS), flexible manufacturing technologies, and Battery IoT technologies. This integration is expected to enhance CTNS's competitiveness in the North American and global battery and energy markets and accelerate its market entry.


Following its contract with Aptera Motors earlier this year, CTNS has secured over 20 business agreements in North America in the first half of the year. In April, CTNS established its local subsidiary, CTNS US, in Seattle, Washington. The company aims to use 2024 as a foundation for global expansion and plans to drive large-scale sales and investment through local production starting in 2025.


CEO Kwon Ki-jung of CTNS stated, “The successful contract with Aptera Motors in the first half of the year has boosted our confidence in North American expansion. By leveraging ASIc’s local success, top talent, and AI technology, we aim to achieve rapid results in the North American market.”


Phillip Jennings, CEO of ASIc, commented, “Among the companies we have encountered, CTNS stands out as an exceptional partner. We look forward to achieving remarkable results together through this collaboration.”


CTNS continues to create new opportunities by aggressively expanding its presence in the rapidly growing global market, relying on its technological prowess and strategic partnerships.
